birthday gift ideas experiences image
Misty
My friend and I are planning a special birthday gift for our 30th birthday and we are wanting to take a cruise. We have 3 years to save up and we are both wanting a nice tropical experience but we're unsure exactly where to go. I've never been anywhere tropic and she's never been outside of the our home state. We are getting our passports so it can be ANYWHERE. Any ideas as to the perfect destination? We will be 30, both married with kids, its our special gift to eachother. Please put why you believe your answer is the best choice. Thanks.
Answer
Just an idea (and it costs about the same):
Consider a week at an all-inclusive resort** in Mexico on the Yucatan peninsula. [the Mayan Riviera, Cancun down to Tulum.] You can lay around in the sun and drink all day*, do casual activities, go swimming, etc; or take tours and see the famous sights and do some adventurous activities.
Cruising is very nice, but 3/4 of the time you are on the boat, and then you get to a port, get off, look around, maybe do a little something (which is not much unless you can afford the expensive activities) and then you get back on the boat. An "all-inclusive" is like a cruise ship, except on land, and you have lots of time to experience the area, and enjoy the experience.
{Some people swear by the all-inclusives on the Pacific side. Each has its own tropical experience, so you need to get info and make a choice.} There is also Hawaii !!!
** you can pick one to suit whatever style you want; including no kids, "relaxed" dress code on the beach, one that has on campus restaurants that appeal to you, a quiet place, a party place,,,,,
*included in the price, unlike on a cruise ship

60th Birthday Gift for the Mom who has everything?
Christine
My mom's 60th birthday gift is coming up and all the kids are pooling together about $800-$1000 to get her a really nice gift. The problem is the woman has everything!!! Any ideas on a unique and meaningful gift we could give to her on her birthday? Thanks!
Answer
A 60th birthday is a milestone and you guys have a good budget to work with.
Is there a show in another city that she might like to? Perhaps a weekend away for her and someone else to see the show (tickets included).
Or is there something she has always wanted to do? For example learn to ballroom dance? Lessons might be an idea...
There is a company called Red Balloon Days in Australia that have some fantastic experience based gifts that might help you with some other ideas about what you could do for your Mother closer to where you are.
For a milestone birthday for my now husband, I arranged a limousine to pick him up with his favourite cold beers and had him dropped to the harbour where we took a harbour cruise together before dinner with friends. He loved it and will always remember it because it was an experience.
Good luck!
